Yes, I do understand that the images are designed to be a slap in the face. A slap in the face only works for people who are hysterical. Everyone else just gets pissed.
BTW: I like your handle. Old Slab Sides has always been my favorite.

Thanks, it was the first handgun I ever shot, at 11-12 years old. I got a Springfield last year from a pawn shop and after a new barrel, it works great.
I understand your point about a slap angering the non-hysterical, but I think the analogy they would use would be a slap to wake someone who has slept through the alarm.

A slap in the face only works for people who are hysterical. Everyone else just gets pissed. I might have to disagree with you. I used to be very pro-choice. Then I saw some abortion photos. I was offended, disturbed. And then later, I started thinking about those pictures, and it made me re-evaluate my position. Am I 100% 'anti-choice'? No, but I have changed a great deal. Sometimes, the slap's sting goes away, but it plants a seed...
